invoke-item: Open all files inside a directory containing a specific keyword.
$ Invoke-Item -Path ${path\to\directory}\* -Include ${*keyword*}
try on your machine

The command you provided is a PowerShell command that uses the Invoke-Item cmdlet to open or execute a file or folder specified by the given path.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • Invoke-Item is a cmdlet in PowerShell used to open or execute a specified file or folder.
  • -Path is a parameter used to specify the path to the file or folder you want to open or execute.
  • ${path\to\directory} is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory you want to invoke. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path you want to use.
  • * is a wildcard character that represents any characters or string. When used in combination with -Include, it is used to filter the files or folders by a specific keyword.
  • -Include is a parameter used to filter the files or directories based on a specific pattern or keyword.
  • ${*keyword*} is another placeholder for the actual keyword or pattern you want to use as a filter. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual keyword or pattern you want to use.

So, when you run this command with the appropriate replacements, it will open or execute all the files or folders in the specified directory that match the keyword or pattern you provided.
